"Discover How To Grow Healthier  Plants
That Are 385% Tastier and
More Nutritious!

Marcie Snyder, Gardener Dear Gardener

If you've ever wanted to grow strong, vibrant plants or
lush, tasty, nutrition-filled vegetables without having to
hassle with insecticides and pesticides, then this will be
the most important message you'll ever read.

 Who Am I And Why Should You Believe Me 

Hi. My name is Marcie Snyder. Since 1982 I have been using a lost secret gardening method which is, without question, the absolute best method for growing strong, healthy, fragrant flowers and lush, tasty, insect/disease-resistant vegetables possible. And to this day, I am still constantly amazed at the results!

Surprisingly I did not always know about this secret gardening method . . .

From the time I was small until I got out of college and got a job, I was expected to spend my summers helping my mother and my grandmother take care of huge gardens growing on a small farm nestled along the beautiful Bay Chaleur in New Brunswick.

At the time it was important for each family to grow huge crops of vegetables and to store such staples as carrots, potatoes, turnip in underground outside cellars and to either freeze or make chili or pickles with such veggies as onions, yellow/green beans, cucumbers etc. So I got to be very intimitate with the taste and feel of very healthy, vibrant vegetables -- even those we ate in the winter.

I should have realized then, but somehow I had missed the point of WHY the crops were so abundant and tasty. Since it was not my job to prepare the soil, the concept of the soil needing to be replenished every year had just not registered. 

I had failed to realize that home-made compost was the secret
to growing
 nutritious and healthy vegetables and plants year after year . . .

In the 1970's after I moved to "the big city," I noticed that those store-bought vegetables just did not taste as good or seem as healthy as the home-grown ones I had been eating all my life.

I got fed up eating these tasteless vegetables from the stores, so on one side of my backyard, I put together a little garden .. . along with peach and pear trees and my favourites, tea roses.

Somehow, though, my results were less than pleasing. As a matter of fact I was very disappointed!

I could not figure out why my rose stems were so weak they were always bending to the ground . . . why I had to use round thick plastic rings around the rose plants in order to keep them upright and straight!


Since I had not clued in on the secret yet, I was using liquid fertilizers to feed my plants.  Although my home-grown veggies were somewhat tastier than the bought ones, they did not grow very big and they seem to constantly be attacked by insects. Not knowing any better, I would try to get rid of these voracious insects/pests by using insecticide. I remember thinking that I could not recall my parents using insecticide on their vegetables, so why did I have to do so to save my plants?

The last thing I wanted to do was to follow the leads of big companies and . . .

. . .How Their Farming Techniques Had Changed
the Agricultural Way of Growing Vegetables

Farming with pesticidesFor example  Back in the 60s, potato farmers in Prince Edward Island decided to do less mixed farming and grow more potatoes to satisfy consumer demand. I remember it well because the leaders of this trend were trying to persuade farmers in New Brunswick to do the same; they wanted us to plant huge fields of one crop and use more synthetic fertilizers which they claimed were just as good as compost (but NB farmers refused to believe this claim).

At the time PEI potatoes were the best in the world and could boast of having many different varieties of delicious potatoes. However when the farmers began growing such huge crops of potatoes on a continuous basis, the soil could not keep up with supplying all the needed nutrients anymore. . . especially since the old method of replenishing the soil with compost and rotating crops had been abandoned. Obviously the synthetic fertilizers could not add all the necessary micronutrients and macronutrients to the soil as did the old fashion manure and compost.   As a result the potatoes are not as healthy and tasty!

Also, any farmer knows that plants which are less than really healthy are attacked more frequently by insects or potato blight, and therefore more spraying is needed.  What a vicious circle!    A double whammy for the consumer -- vegetables lacking in nutrients AND insecticide/pesticide on our food and spreading in our water table!  No wonder cancer and disease is rampant! 

Spraying with tractor and spray equipmentAnother example: Last summer I saw the same scenario being repeated here in Ontario.  From early spring until October I had to travel down a country road every day.  At the beginning of the summer I noticed this huge field being planted, and as time passed I recognized that these plants were head lettuce.  However, one day, when the plants were almost mature, I saw,to my horror, that a tractor pulling spraying equipment was going from row to row and was spraying a horrible smelling liquid I recognized as being the smell of insecticide. Before that crop was completely pulled out, I had witnessed the spraying of this field filled with maturing lettuce at least one more time.

Then later on, when half the field had no more of this first crop of lettuce, I noticed someone was replanting the same crop in that field and going through the same routine.  Imagine!  How can soil support two crops in one summer?  Because of the spraying, were there any microbes left in the soil to do their job of providing food for the plant roots?  As a matter of fact how could any living organism in the soil  and the precious worms which are so necessary to a healthy soil survive the sprayings?  What kind of food were we being sold?

One More Example-- In the spring of 2004, one day around 9:30 a.m., my brother and I happened to drive past  a farm where the farmer was spreading  chemical-based fertilizer.  A strong wind which was blowing our way was picking up some of this powder and spreading this stark sharp smell which made us both choke and gasp.  The smell of this fertilizer was 10 times worst than fresh manure which in all my years of experience has never made me choke up (gag maybe, but not choke)! 

Pesticide cycleI quickly closed the windows and asked my brother "Why on earth do farmers use such junk!"  His answer was, "One of the farmers told me that composted cattle manure was hard to come by because cattle farmers hang onto it.  The vegetable farmers have no choice but to buy this fertilizer!"  After watching "The Future of Our Food" documentary, I now can understand the farmer's predicament!  It is imperative that people become aware of how much insecticide/pesticide residual we are swallowing as we eat our vegetables.

("I strongly suggest you rent this documentary video "The Future Of Our Food" and watch it. You'll be flabbergasted at what you will learn regarding our food in the future -- especially the part about HOW they're genetically altering the seeds of plants and how that can affect living species ...including the human species!)

Want More Proof re the Vegetables We Buy?

"The David Suzuki Foundation released a document, The Food We Eat  -- An International Comparison of Pesticide Regulations, October 2006.  The Foundation made the claim that Canada’s pesticide regulations are among the weakest in the industrialized world. Sixty chemicals used in 1,130 pesticide products are banned in other western industrialized nations, they say. However, Canada's maximum residue limits on food are significantly lower than the U.S, the European Union, and Australia. Canada reports a 10 per cent residue on fresh fruit and vegetables, as compared to the U.S. which reports 76 per cent."
~ CFA- Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Current Events, "CFA Environment and Science Activities" (September 2007)

All these thoughts made me feel even worse since now I myself was putting my own health in jeopardy by following the same method of using synthetic fertilizers and spraying. 

Although some liquid fertilizers are better than the chemical-based fertilizer, they definitely don't have ALL the nutrients needed to create healthier vegetables.

In Addition, Certain Chemical-Based Fertilizers ARE Deadly!

 

Damage to ecosystemTo make matters worse I knew that any insecticide or pesticides I would use would eventually end up in the water table and contaminate it. I was remembering those documentaries I would show to the students back in the 1970s when teaching "Let's help our environment"  issues.   One particular documentary film explained how in New Brunswick the ecosystem was being threatened by the waters which was becoming heavily polluted by  seepage of sprayed insecticides and pesticides and the usage of brook or creek water to clean the spraying equipment. 

The fact that I was adding to the pollution of my own drinking water  bothered me immensely!  I had to find another way to deal with the insects. It was obvious that my plants were not healthy, and I had to find the solution!

I was not happy! I could not figure out why I was spending a fortune on liquid fertilizers (which supposedly was just as good as manure and compost), but I was not getting the results I wanted. Was it the soil? The environment? What was lacking? Where Was I Going Wrong?


DISCOVERING COMPOSTING

Then one day my Dutch neighbor, noticing my disappointment, said to me,

"Would you like to know the secret to growing lush, healthy plants that you can be proud of?  Would you like to know how I get my vegetables to be so healthy and so tasty that even my children enjoy nibbling on them right out of the garden?"

I was all ears!

He went on to explain that I should adopt an old-fashioned method called home-made composting that has worked for centuries  -- a secret method  which has more or less disappeared in  the last 50+ years

He continued: 

        "This secret method of making and adding this compost to your soil will
        help you put back into your soil the nutrients which have been used up
        by growing plants.  

 You see, vegetables grown using this secret method will have time to
grow normally and absorb all the added nutrients from the soil.

In turn especially your vegetables will have
 absorbed a wider variety of
the nutrients which are so necessary to keeping your body healthy
and free from disease.
 Check it out!"

I took his advice and found out that . . .

 This Ancient Secret Method Of
Adding Home-made Compost To The Soil
Is Such A Superior Method Of Gardening
 Every Vegetable Grower & Gardener
Should Know About It.

(In a hurry to find out how to create compost?)

    

How To Make Compost EBook
That's when I decided to compile all the composting information into one ebook so that anyone who wanted to grow lush plants and healthier vegetables could discover how easy it is to make their own compost which helped the plant's growing process in so many ways.  For example . . .

  • Compost gradually releases a variety of nutrients just when they're required by the growing plants, so you get healthier and more nutrient-filled vegetables. 

  • As a result of using this compost, the plant is healthier, and insects and diseases don't seem to do as much damage so you do not need to use insecticides and pesticides which eventually poisons your system.  

    In addition, you end up with more vegetables for you and your family. 

  • Since dark compost draws the sun's heat to warm your garden's soil, you can begin gardening somewhat earlier in the spring and grow your vegetables for a longer period of time each summer - making the growing season longer.
     
  • Plenty of compost added to the soil acts like a sponge soaking up water when it rains and releasing it in dry spells, so you save on water since you don't need to water as much.

  • In addition, since compost improves the structure of both sand and clay soils, you have better protection against drought and erosion, so your crop will fare better. 


Where Can You Get This Compost?
 

 "Although you can buy manure or compost or a mixture of both in bags, you will probably need quite a few bags, and at $2.00 or more per 25 Liter bag, that can be costly. For a 100 sq foot garden, you would probably need 10 to 12 or more of these bags -- depending on how thickly you spread the manure or compost.  Buying manure is not the best option if you want to save money, "    

"In addition you or someone in your entourage will have to make quite a few trips to the store to bring the bags of compost back to your place. Travelling back and forth can be both time consuming and costly.
 
 
"Another reason, and this one is important, you are not quite sure what has been used to create this compost in the first place.  Secondly, all this manure or compost has been sterilized; therefore, you will not find in this compost all the extra micronutrients and macronutrients present in your own home-made compost which have been enriched by the earth worms"

"Therefore! The most cost effective
and the best compost is
Your Own Home-Made Compost!"


"MAKING YOUR OWN COMPOST is much
  easier to do than you think! All it really takes is a little planning and a little bit of exercise. It can actually be a family activity which everyone can enjoy. Try it!"
 

 
 And am I ever glad I did begin making and using my own compost. My plants and vegetables became the envy of the neighborhood. As my electrician observed while doing a job one day: "Never have I entered a back yard which has so many plants that are so healthy looking!' 
 
Here are two pictures showing how using compost has helped me grow lush flowers and trees in the northwest and northeast corner of my backyard. 
 northeast corner of property
northwest corner of property  To grow these beautiful plants and more nutrition-filled, tastier vegetables in my garden, each summer and fall I would keep adding to my compost piles (I had three compost bins on the go) and in the early spring add that compost to the garden soil.

Afterwards, using a shovel, I would overturn the soil so that soil and compost would mix before I planted the seeds. At one point to have even more cost-effective compost available, I started "growing " green compost in my garden.

Then throughout the summer till late September, I would enjoy being able to pick and savor these mouth-watering, fresh, nutritious, just-out-of-the-garden vegetables which I knew were insecticide and pesticide free and far superior in nutrition to those in grocery stores.

    ~ Britt Mittemeijer, Winston-Salem, NC


      Composting has been a background subject that  I have been hearing about for years. It just seemed so complicated! . . . and I have had "many misconceptions about it, particularly the smell, the fact that it wasn't for me because I lived in apartments, and of course, lack of time! 

     However, because of the growing serious concerns regarding the environment, composting became of extreme interest to me. I did not know the first thing about composting, but how and where does one start? (And who do you trust?) 

    I found myself very fortunate to fall on such an informative ebook!! The step-by-step information is so easy to follow and it shows you the composting options (yes, also for those living in an apartment). It even deals with the "smell" factor. I highly recommend this ebook!
